Borac Banja Luka take on the visitors B36 Torshavn in the first leg of round of 16 in UEFA Conference League qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, July 7th at Dr. Milan Jelic (Modrica).
Borac Banja Luka lost ground last season. The Red-Blues were able to take the league title in 2021 - this was the second such success of all time, and 10 years have passed since the previous gold. It was not possible to gain a foothold at the top this time too. Not only did the team roll back to 3rd position, but they also fell behind the new winner, Zrinjski, by as much as 3 dozen points - and this is with only 34 rounds! Nevertheless, this result also allowed us to play again at the international level, albeit in the Conference League. In 2021, the Bosnians were unsuccessful. It's a shame in the Champions League qualification, in extra time they lost to CFR in extra time after the exchange of home victories. Then Borac lost to Linfield in the Conference League - 0-0, 0-4.

B36 Torshavn have a trump card in the form of match practice. The White Tigers are a fairly strong club that has won a lot. He has 11 championship titles alone. But the last time they took gold was back in 2015. And the last draw brought only a modest, as for the usual grand, 5th place. But at the same time, it turned out to take the country's cup, for the 7th time in history. And this is exactly what allowed to start again in the Conference League. In the summer of 2020, they managed to give out 1 of the most successful campaigns for the Faroese in the Europa League: they passed the Gibraltar St. Joseph, Levadia and the New Saints, and only then lost to CSKA (Sofia) on the road.
Borac and B-36 are reputable teams in their home countries, but modest in general, by the standards of European cups. Not surprisingly, this will be their first head-to-head confrontation. B-36 is a good team, but it is still hardly worth expecting exploits from them, especially away. Borac must create a maximum handicap for himself at home - we bet on his victory at home with -1.0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Borac Banja Luka to win with -1.0 handicap.
